The ideas and format for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship
histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks.
Andrew Guerin has developed and extended the histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004
and 2005 and acknowledges the ongoing assistance of Margot Foster.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian
names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
